E420 inside wear

Hope this helps.
So Larry, I had a bad inside tie rod on driver's side of the 94 E420 in which I replace. I counted the threads and made sure it was the same as the one I took off. Since the replacement of the tie rod, my steering wheel has a slight tilt to the right and the car has a very light pull to the right. If I straighten or align the steering wheel to the left to make it center while driving, the car goes to the left. I have inside wear on the front and rear tires.

The last alignment I had done was not that great of a job anyway. I took it to a local alignment shop. I personally think they just took my money.

Are you saying that I can correct my own alignment problem without going to the MB shop. FYI, I got a set of 18" wheels on the car.
